Correspondence OF the Alexandria GAZETTE.
LINCoLNIA, July S, 1SS7.--The favorable
weather that has prevailed recently has en-
abled the husbandmen to secure in good or.
der much of the crops ready for garnering.
To do what has been done, with the mer.
curry waltzing among the nineties was warm
business, and it was realized that the Bibli-
cal theory Of mans earning bread by the
sweat of his brow was unanimously accord
ed as coram. The crops harvested promise
favorable yield, and those 10 come present
an encouraging appearance. The fruit crop
appears to have dropped out of sight.
For occasional recreation from field labors
the Farmers Club of this section meet every
Thursday of a month before the moon fulls,
for the discussion of useful knowledge from
such topics as may arise advantageous to
the members of the club. The last meeting
was held at Mr.. B. Camps, and the ques.
ton, (Which is the best breed of cows for
butter and milk, and the best method of
feeding to secure the most satisfactory re-
suits ?" was brought up. Opinions were
given by A. Martin, Geo. Aud, G. X. Pick
EFT, J. Y. Haring and w. H. Lewis. AS the
question ELECTS much Interest the subject is
to be continued at the next meeting. The
critical committee, by Mr.. Aud, rendered
very favorable report upon the appearance
of Mr.. Camps farm, barn, crops and cattle,
and were particularly pleased with the
menu of refreshments placed before them
by the amiable and accomplished young
hostess, Miss Maud Camp. The Ladies
Mite Society also meets in conjunction with
the club, and upon this occasion were pres.
ent in goody numbers. Music reading and
chatty remarks served to tighten the fatigue
endured by the sterner sex these days, and
they admit pleasant time, though tired.
The next meeting of the club and the Mite
Society will be held at the residence of J. l..
Hariug on the 18th inst. Critical commit
tee: B. Camp, W. H. Lewis and Truman
Abrams These gatherings are open affairs.
and all are welcome to participate in the
good time of the occasion.
Politics is SO dormant with Us that no
one can tell who will be the next President.

The PHILADELPHIA Record, one of the

Civil service reform is an excellent thing,
but it does not require the retention OF enc
mics of a democratic administration IN
places of trust and responsibility. This ad
ministration was placed in power upon the
demand of the people that the bad methods
Of republican official management should De
thoroughly exposed and reformed. But
even the post -mortem investigation IN this
Bacon case has been conducted with many
apologies aud delicate assurances that every
thing would he done to prevent disclosures
calculated TO wound the feelings OF persons
who may have had financial transactions
with the delinquent official The PLAIN
Truth is that there are men in high places IN
this administration who are not In hearty
sympathy with its aims aud its spirit. 10
the 10 tiuence of these men is due the TACT
that so little has been accomplished IN the
reform of administrative abuses"
Every word of this is as true as gospel
and because it is so is the reason for the ex-
istence of the disappointment, lukewarm-
ness and dissatisfaction, if not disatlection,
now so prevalent among the men VINO nom
